Resumen

The research related parental psychological control (PPC) and emotional and behavioral problems, and evaluated the mediational role of shyness and verbal aggression in this relationship. 251 female students from a public educational institution in Lima-Peru with indicators of shyness and verbal aggression between 15 and 17 years of age were studied. We worked with the Dependence and Achievement-Oriented Psychological Control Scale (DAPC), the Adolescent Emotional and Behavioral Problems Scale, the revised shyness scale (ETR-13) and the verbal aggression dimension of the Buss and Perry Aggression Questionnaire. It was found that shyness and verbal aggression do not play a mediational role in the relationship between parental control and emotional problems; furthermore, it was found that there is a positive and significant relationship between parental psychological control and behavioral and emotional problems, indicating that the more control parents exert over their children, the more emotional and behavioral problems increase. © Autor(es); 2022.
